Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

Happy 8th birthday to GTA 5 today. Here's to another 8 until GTA 6 after we all buy the GTA 5 16th anniversary edition on the PS7.

I didn't notice it until the newest Badger Goodger video, but Rockstar isn't actually advertising it as "Grand Theft Auto V: Expanded and Enhanced" anymore

It's simply "Grand Theft Auto V/Online for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S"

I guess they don't want to be sued for false advertising. I see you, sly bastards.

This is going to be a fucking shitshow.

Happy 8th birthday to GTA 5 today. Here's to another 8 until GTA 6 after we all buy the GTA 5 16th anniversary edition on the PS7.

For the first time in over four years, I actually forgot about the times I used to reminisce watching and playing GTA V missions repeatedly for little hints and Easter eggs that I missed back when I played it in 2013.

Fast forward to today, I now find myself doing the same thing but for the PS2 versions of III, Vice City and San Andreas.

Eight years later, the Mile High Club building will STILL be under construction. How lazy are these people?

So lazy that I believe there are extremely extensive mods that build the area up.

Remember the last film studio asset mission in Vice City?

An alternative method to complete it would be using a helicopter that spawns nearby. Either fly or stunt jump. I was marginally better with biking than flying.

That bike got destroyed shortly after.

It really is baffling that they just left it instead of finishing it and selling an apartment inside of it for like 10 million dollars.

That's saved for the Expanded and Enhanced version.

Only $8 million!

Nah, these mods would have been C&D'd by now if that was the case.

Or have they? I don't really keep up with the news that well anymore

Something I discovered: damage to that car only counts via collisions from YOUR car. If by chance, you explode a car next to it, it won't count. She's "explosion proof."

If this mission was in GTAV you'd fail the mission for "abandoning the bike".

I miss when the GTA community was divisise on whether SA or IV was the best games in the series. Now that GTA Online has gotten massively popular, it's a turf war between clickbait and unrealistic expectations in favor for griefing and monetization.

Once I managed to pass this mission by using the Faggio (for those who don't remember it's a moped), believe it or not. It was actually easier to control than the default motorbike which the mission hints you to use. You need to keep spamming the "motorbike down" button during the entire time though, otherwise you won't gain enough speed.

Big time, man, big time. I can't wait to watch it unfold.

The fact that GTA V’s remastered edition for the PS5 would remove the one song that I overly enjoyed listening to when not playing the game makes no sense.

It would be like if they removed Neon Indian’s “Change of Coast” from their GTA Online menu.

They chose to license out THE best song by Kano too. I love how early 80's the instrumentation is.

 

[The Last Stand]

You KNOW you fucked up when a comment describing the distaste of GTA V E&E has more likes than the trailer itself.

Semper Fi, The Professional.

And it'll keep rising and rising...

Now kiss.

R* is taking the Destiny 2 approach and removing game modes from rotation.

This affects one achievement/trophy, Numero Uno. It also affects the PS3/Xbox 360 versions. Parachuting and sea races will be taken out of rotation.

First a song, now game modes. "Expanded and enhanced" my ass. I didn't even know GTA Online had parachuting. And as an aside, bounties were long removed from the last gen version because of hacking. How long until the PC version gets affected?

 

[X Pac Heat]

To be fair, they are shutting the online down on them in like two months so no big loss there.

Parachuting has been lame since day one. I'm surprised they didn't remove it sooner. Sea Races is rather odd though, unless just absolutely nobody plays them.

But if that were the case, why haven't they taken out most of the modes? Has it changed much in 2-3 years? I always remember nobody playing anything but races and deathmatches unless there was 2x money on a particular game mode.
